Do you know of a 24 hour rule for booking AA awards on BA?

Worked for me in the past, don't know of a rule, hence the YMMV.

Well, there you have it OP.

There is AA availability (like I mentioned above) for tomorrow, but to be booked with Avios for 9k (instead of 25k AA miles), you have to call BA directly.

Hope that helps.

P.S. Let us know if the rep says anything about a 24 hour rule.

BA won't let you book for tomorrow.
Book online for a later date with avaialbility and then switch it over the phone for tomorrow.

Oh, BA.com won't let you book (just awards?) within 24 hours, but you're not sure of a rule that precludes booking an AA award with BA on the phone.

I think I got it now.
